Question

Dee's clothing is having a discount of 40% on all shirts. Let x represent the regular price of any shirt in the store. Enter an expression that can be used to find the sale price of any shirt in the store.

Answer 1

C=P-0.4x

Explanation:

Step one:

we want to find the expression for the cost of any type of shirt for an applied discount of 40%.

let the price of any shirt be P

let the cost of any shirt be x

and also the price after discount applied be C

Step two:

The discount is

=40/100*x

=0.4*x

=0.4x

Hence the cost of the shirt will be the initial cost minus the discount

C=P-0.4x
